Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio — like anyone else — knows he has some serious talent on the defensive side of the football.
Also like anyone else, he could tell the defense looked lost at times last year.
Del Rio, speaking with the media Wednesday, said communication is key next year. He said the issues last year prevented the defense from even beginning to digest what the opposing offense was doing, per Zach Selby of the team’s website: “We don’t have time to look for those clues if we don’t know what we’re doing to begin with.”
And this from ESPN’s John Keim: “That’ll be one of the big challenges and areas that has to improve. All you have to do is watch the tape… Countless examples.”
This doesn’t paint the last coaching staff in a great light, but so goes the benefits of bringing on some experienced outside eyes.
The nice part? The Redskins will improve personnel this offseason in addition to potentially fixing a fundamental issue like this.
